Keep in mind you do not need new points.

While I have 2 NOS Ford sets cause I got them cheap, I have a jar of used Standard and Ford points with tons of life in the wear block and the points look like new.

Points only need to be changed when the points look bad or the wear block is gone. My brothers coupe was restored back around 1970 and is still running the points that came with the car.
